Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know that it is a little late but I hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving.  We did and thanks again to Aunt Kathie, Grandma and Grandpa for the great thanksgiving dinner.  This year we had the opportunity to eat  dinner at the Cracker Barrel one of our favorite restaurants.  The first time for thanksgiving dinner though and it was soooo good.  Especially the stuffing I think it is now my favorite recipe although my dads is still a close second.  I have to confess I spent some time yesterday morning scouring the internet hoping to find a copy cat recipe to try but sadly I could never find one.  Oh well.  I did get the chance to make my dad's for the first time yesterday and was told by all that partook that it was very good.  Well all but one, Jacob leaned over and whispered in my ear (loud enough for everyone at the table to hear) "mom I didn't like your stuffing".  Everyone else liked it though and I was very happy with the way it turned out. 
 
 
After dinner the kids decorated christmas tree cookies.
 
 
I have to give a special thanks here to Zach for not only not covering his face in the picture but for smiling for the camera as well.  We all had fun and the kids trees turned out very cute although they were probably all 2 - 3 pounds heavier with all the sprinkles that were dumped (not sprinkled) onto the trees.  Guess it is time to head back out to the sprinkle store.
 
Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone.

Halloween parade

I almost forgot to post the pictures from the halloween parade this year. 
 
Here they are.
 
Isn't this frankenstein great he is the brother of Jacob's teacher Mr. Evans.  Some of you might recognize him (without the costume a little better) he is a famous local author.  He came out and wandered around before the parade started.  Isn't his costume great?
 



 
Of course this was my favorite little person walking through the parade.  He went as the doctor again this year.  Doctor Who you ask?
